Dana Guthrie

July 2,1988 Monsters of Rock tour at Rice Stadium, I was 12. I wanna say by that time it was being combined as part of the Texxas Jam series, but don’t hold me to that. Van Halen, Scorpions, Dokken, Metallica and Kingdom Come. During one of the intermissions, a trash fight started on the field. Sitting in the bleachers, you could barely see the other side because of all the trash being thrown.
